    Between 1891 (Australian Club) and 1895 (no dome on Chief Secretary's Office). Beautiful ship. H.M.S. ????

    beachcomber australia This ship is a mystery! We aren't sure on this one but will let you know if our curators come up with anything :)

    I think she is a barquentine, which should narrow it a little - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barquentine
  • Ted said:
    Looks like Waterwitch/Lancashire Witch but funnel appears to be missing - should be behind centre mast.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Ted There is a short funnel there - see large size. Another photo of the WATERWITCH for comparison - www.awm.gov.au/collection/302285/ I think this photo may be in April 1895 when the WATERWITCH first arrived in Sydney, and "attracted much attention" in Farm Cove - " ... by far the prettiest vessel on the Australian station. ...

    A barquentine or schooner barque (alternatively "barkentine" or "schooner bark") is a sailing vessel with three or more masts; with a square rigged foremast and fore-and-aft rigged main, mizzen and any other masts. The term "barquentine" is seventeenth century in origin, formed from "barque" in imitation of "brigantine", a two-masted vessel square-rigged only on the forward mast, and apparently formed from the word brig.

    RN barquentine? I'm not sure but that flag and general appearance, number of boats swung out etc look Navy.

    I thought it might have been HMS WATERWITCH, but no. (see discussion here - www.flickr.com/photos/33147718@N05/8136977972/)
  • Dale said:
    She has very fair and shiny appearance, even the ports are polished. Four boats on davits is somewhat generous for a trading or luxury vessel.
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    beachcomber australia We thought so too initially! Thought you and Ted might need a new challenge since SUNBEAM :)
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    Dale Thanks for your comment, agreed - this vessel does appear to be Navy.
